NOTES: Slim Jim recorded the Swedish song "Gökvalsen" as "The Cuckoo Waltz" and the Norwegian song "En Liten Gylden Ring" as "Ring Of Gold". "When It's Lamplighting Time In The Valley" was translated into Swedish as "När Ljusen Tändas Darhemma" and into Norwegian as "Når Lysene Tennes Der Hjemme". Slim Jim performed the song in English. "Sommersol Til Siste Stund" is a Norwegian translation of "Silver Threads Among The Gold". The Iverson Brothers' "Ungdoms Mynder" has the same melody but lyrics that are unrelated to the original song. "The Drifting, Whistling Snow" is a parody of "The Shifting, Whispering Sands".

"Oleana" (Oleanna) is a Norwegian emigrant ballad from 1853. Pete Seeger’s 1955 translation popularized the song in America.
